This is ABSOLUTELY the WORSE 2k I've ever played and I've been playing faithfully for 24 years since the first 2k. There is no point of creating a MyPlayer account anymore because they make it impossible to improve your player. You have to earn five badges (5 points) just to earn one bage!! It's impossible to improve your overall ratings because they boosted up everything!! My player has a 73 overall defense rebounds, in order to upgrade to 74 it's 1,600 vc?? That's crazy!! Over 40,000 vc just to get him to a 80 overall on just def of rebounds alone!! And that goes for everything, 3 point shooting, driving dunks, steals, strength, acceleration, ect! I literally played my career mode for 6 plus hrs straight when I first got the game and was only able to get my player to a 61 overall and that's including the 5,000 vc I've already purchased. Even if u purchase 175,000 vc it literally will only get you to a 72 overall rating which is absolutely ridiculous. Waste of money, I'll never play 2k24 and if this continues I'm fine with never playing 2k agian. And it's literally a replica of 2k23 SMH, id rate it a zero if I could. This is literally the first review I've ever made in my life, that's how disgusted I am!! Don't buy this game, whoever is in control of 2k is on a sceeme to get richer and is a thief!! This should be illegal because it's no longer a video game to me, it's more like a business now smh
